Hey guys. Let's start up a new topic for the judging debate. Let's not hijack her thread for this.

But that was the verse she was talking about right? What is and isn't judging comes under it...

Well, the topic itself is more about Bible verses that are commonly misinterpreted, either through ignorance or to fit someone's agenda.

The judgement verse was merely just an example.

Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Commonly misinterpretted as "just sit and wait." It's basically saying to live in the moment and be in the here and now. Don't dwell and worry about the future because it has yet to come. Take each day, one day at a time.

LIFE IS LIKE A BOX O--shot-

Yes quite, one step at a time. No need to take two steps at once, jumping too far forward and then falling off a cliff.
